An Unearthly Child (See Press/Media)

The Inspiration:

(freehand painted in oils)

This image was inspired by watching the mesmerising classic first episode of Doctor Who in November 1963. From then on I was completely hooked on the TV program and have been a fan ever since. The stories were believable to me as an impressionable child of 10.

William Hartnell is my favourite Doctor. I think he was at his best when he was working with Carole Ann Ford, Russell Enoch and Jacqueline Hill during the first few stories. I felt there was a real chemistry between them on screen.

A huge thank you for entering our Doctor Who: Illustrated Adventures competition!
We are delighted to say that we have chosen your artwork based on the episode ‘An Unearthly Child’ as one of our winning entries to appear in the book.
Unfortunately, we are unable to use your art in the format we have it in at present – please could you urgently resend it to us at a higher quality resolution? Ideally we require the images to be 3366px x 2740px at 300 dpi. If too large to attach to an email, a link to the art via a file transfer site like WeTransfer would be great.
15th May we’ll need to choose another entrant, so please do send this over as soon as you can!

Please also supply us with a postal address so that we can send you your Doctor Who book bundle, plus two copies of Illustrated Adventures once it publishes in autumn 2017.
Thank you again for entering our competition. Let us know if you have any further questions!

Best wishes,
The Puffin Team
